Afghanistan

Overview

The Aga Khan Foundation has operated in Afghanistan since 2003. Initial programmes were built upon the Aga Khan Development Network’s activity which started in 1996 to support food aid distribution during the country’s civil war.

In Afghanistan, the Aga Khan Foundation leads a range of integrated, innovative and gender responsive programmes. This work is implemented across 11 provinces, including Badakhshan, Takhar, Kunduz, Baghlan, Samangan, Balkh, Bamyan, Daikundi, Parwan, Panjshir and Kabul. The Aga Khan Foundation works through consortia to extend its reach to a total of 23 provinces in Afghanistan.

In addition, the Aga Khan Foundation often plays a convening, partnership development, policy dialogue and resource mobilisation role for the Aga Khan Development Network and its agencies in Afghanistan.
